<description> <![CDATA[ Welcome to you on the forum of lookatyourdrinking.com!&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;I am Spix (a woman, 45 years old, living alone, and raising two kids) and I am one of the clients in the Netherlands who followed the internet therapy programme (in 2005).&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;I found the programme a great help and have now successfully stopped drinking. I found the therapy very respectful towards me and that’s what I needed. I was already used to failure and considering myself a loser because I couldn’t stop drinking. But with the therapy, I found the strength to quit my drinking habit. &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;During the therapy, I found out that there was a forum where people could exchange their experiences regarding the problems that they met during the process of cutting down or stopping drinking.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;I have been asked by the coaches in Holland to say something about the forum. &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;In a short time, I found a lot of people facing similar difficulties to myself. The most important thing for me was that when you quit drinking (as I did) you are probably going to miss something in your life. I found out that I used alcohol for dealing with my emotional problems. Without the alcohol you have to learn how to live your life without the soothing blanket that alcohol can be. In that process, I found companions on the forum. They understood my problems and we exchanged experiences, tips, and helped each other.  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;The most helpful thing for me is still that I can share with others if I encounter difficulties. The sharing with others, who understand that the easiest thing to do is to grab a bottle of wine to cover up my emotions, in fact keeps me from grabbing that bottle and helps me to look for a different way to solve my problems. There is someone on line at any time of the day. &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;I wish you all luck.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Spix. &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;  ]]> </description>
